2007_09_07 Ceiling almost done, wiring, and hardware etc

They are pretty much finished putting on the ceiling for the first floor rooms that have ceilings other than up at the roof level like over the great room. Here is a picture taken from up on the road (Scenic Peak).


This is a view of the master bedroom looking toward the French doors that will open out onto the screened room. Note the wire (if you can see it) sticking down from the short cross beam toward the other end of the room (not the large beam - past it). That's for the light/ceiling fan. However, it seems to be too far toward the far end of the room from what I saw today. I got there just as they were leaving and didn't have a chance to ask Steve about it.

Can you see the thickness of the ceiling boards above the dining room? I think I said they were 1 x 6s the other day. They are 2 x 6s instead. You can also see the dovetail joints on the walls here also.

The round metal thing is the bottom of the tightening system that is used on all the log walls. This one just happens to be visible since it's at the bottom of a 2-log portion that goes above the French doors in the great room. The long screw (with the spring and nut on top) screws into this thing which is mounted on the bottom of each log.

There won't be another update till the middle of next week since we're going to visit with Kathy's sister, Rosie, on Monday and Tuesday.
